Vikram is not your model Indian-American teen. Growing up in late 1980s Wisconsin, he is rebellious, adrift, and resentful of his Indian origins. But a disastrously drunken weekend becomes a one-way ticket back to the homeland for Vikram after his outraged parents decide to finish off the family and return to India. So begins a profound quest of culture impact, loneliness, and self-discovery as Vikram - navigating the chaos of daily Indian life and the antiquated communal rules of his college or university - locates the self confidence to explore his own ingenuity, reconnect along with his family, and meet remarkable new friends. Most of all, he discovers that India is his soul.... but America is his center, the land of his future, resulting in a once-in-a-lifetime test of courage as he places out to chart a vibrant new course for his future.
